Feel Calm In 5 Minutes - Square Breathing

Close your eyes and turn inwards.

Start to deepen your breathing.

Deep inhales through the nose and deep exhales through the nose.

Relax your body and settle in to today's practice.

Today we'll be doing a practice called square breathing where we'll breathe in for four counts,

Hold the breath in for four counts,

Breathe out for four counts and hold the breath out for four counts and we'll repeat this cycle.

Be sure to keep your body relaxed throughout and whenever your mind wanders it's okay,

Just gently bring your attention back to the breath.

Let's take one last deep breath before we begin.
